Life is a never-ending journey, and I will explain to you why. But first, a word of advice: when you travel, don’t do it like me. Incidentally or not, when I was young, my dad would take me and my brother, like a couple of boy scouts on an exploration quest, through the most remote, yet sublime meadows and forests in Romania, in search of the perfect pollen and nectar-rich flowers for the bees, because that was our family business – beekeeping. You can’t even imagine what I’ve learned from all those “tourist” experiences and how useful I found the lessons bees taught me, these magical, hardworking creatures that stick together no matter what and live in the most effective micro-society I’ve ever seen.
